Here is the History of Elvis Presley and his first  single

In the summer of 1953, a young guy fresh out of high school who has aspirations of becoming a professional singer makes a demo acetate at The Memphis Recording Service, home of the Sun Records label. The studio owner isn’t in, so his assistant, Marion Keisker, handles the session. The young man takes the acetate home, and reportedly gives it to his mother as a much-belated extra birthday present.

In January 1954, the young man, Elvis Presley, makes another demo acetate at studio. Sam Phillips, the owner, is in this time and, like Keisker, is intrigued by his looks and his sound.

A year later, Phillips is looking for a white singer that sounds black for his label. At Keisker’s suggestion, Phillips calls Presley into the studio to try singing a song Phillips hoped to put on a record. The song falls short, but Presley impresses Phillips when he runs through several other popular tunes. Phillips asks him to come back later and try again.

On July 4, 1954, Presley begins working in the studio with guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black but nothing is really clicking. On July 5, after a tedious session the three move into overdrive when they break into a speeded-up version of Arthur “Big Boy” Crudup’s That’s All Right. Upon finishing the recording session, according to Moore, Black remarked, “Damn. Get that on the radio and they’ll run us out of town.”

About two weeks later, this song, backed with Blue Moon of Kentucky becomes the first of  five singles Presley releases on the Sun label.

Elvis would record at Sun together until November 1955, when Phillips sold Presley's contract to RCA Victor for $40,000; the highest sum ever paid for a recording contract. Sun had permission to keep pressing the singles until January 1, 1956, and RCA released Presley's first five singles nationally on their label. In January 1956, Presley began recording for RCA, recording "Heartbreak Hotel" as his first single. He would return to Sun studios regularly over the next few months, visiting with Phillips and meeting many of his new artists.
